Republican Larry Hogan scores biggest upset of the night as he wins Maryland gubernatorial race despite opponent's support from Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton

Republican Larry Hogan defeated Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown to become the next governor of Maryland It was a big upset for Hogan, a businessman who received support from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie during his campaign Brown meanwhile had Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama stumping for him in just the past week

Republicans weren't just big winners in the U.S. Senate races on Tuesday, as they also scored some major victories in the gubernatorial races.

No victory was a bigger upset however than that of Larry Hogan, the businessman who manged to defeat Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown to become the next governor of Maryland.

This despite the fact that Brown got support from some heavy hitters in the Democratic party, including Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama - who stumped for the candidate just one day before the election.

Bill Clinton campaigned for this obama-lite, too

[KC Burke]

The DU thread entitled:
“We Just Lost Maryland. F*cking Maryland.”

That thread said it all.

[Minsc]

This and the GOP win in Illinois are earth shattering.

[NeoCaveman]

It must be a beautiful day at the DUmp.

Hogan is a RINO and I’m not surprised he pulled it off.

I guess people were tired of another black guy.

[JimRed]

Isn’t it obvious? Candidate Brown is black; therefore his loss is solely due to RACISM! < /sarc >

[KC Burke]

Going through their forum a couple of times last night really warmed my heart.

Don’t expect much here. DPRM legislature does not cooperate w/repub govs. Even though he campaigned on cutting taxes, he can’t actually do that unilaterally as governor.

It’s still nice a repub won but it’s basically a pyrrhic victory.

[sitetest]

I think this will put a damper on anyone talking about a Senate run for Chewbacca.

[goldstategop]

He’s as liberal as the rest of them.

But I doubt his business background will fly with the Democratic run legislature there.

[NeoCaveman]

I used to have a log in over there, for times like these..

[PTBAA]

I’m not sure “pyrrhic” is an accurate descriptor. What terrible loss have the Republicans suffered to win this seat?

[EQAndyBuzz]

I know no one wants others this today, but all those governors races we won? Thank Chriis Christie. He is not what we want in 2016, but I don’t think too many people could have accomplished what he did with the RGA.

[fruser1]

You’re right. Maybe hollow-victory is better for what I’m thinking.

As a former resident of the beautiful (except for Baltimore) state of Maryland, I feel I have lost more than the Democrats in this smashing Hogan win.

For years I have been dining out on my lurid tales of Baltimore Voter Fraud, where the same wonderful people have been voting since 1789, and where Edgar Allan Poe was registered until just a year ago. No more (or should I say "Evermore?"). WTF happened? Nancy Pelosi's dear olde dad Tom D'Allesandro could have delivered at least 103% for the Democrat, thereby winning the whole state.

O I am even more dismayed, distraught almost, by the failure of the city's many, many African-American pastors to deliver the vote. What the hell do the Democrats pay them for, anyway? (Get Sharpton and Soetoro on this immediately!) Did the church vans (federally supplied) all run out of gas? Did Obama fail to deliver street money? Rumors have reached me that many Baltimore African-Americans were so weakened by the new Michelle School Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Programs and EBT Healthy Eating initiatives that they were unable to vote more than once, some skipping the process entirely! For shame! Michelle showed up wif Buckets'o'KFC, but too late!

I do not mean to let Maryland's huge illegal alien but duly registered population off the hook. ¿Donde estaron? Do these people realize what they have done to my social life?

I am torn, Dennis, torn I tell you. On the one hand I rejoice in a "Republican" (whatever TF that means nowadays) victory anywhere. But where exactly am I expected to have dinner?

ROFL.

[pilipo]

Is this the same Larry Hogan that was the County Executive of PG County circa 1990?

[Jamestown1630]

Well, I’m trying to find a couple of Freepers, who just a while ago said they’d be “in shock” and “gobsmacked”, if Maryland elected a Republican governor :-)
